Best Pants For Men With Muscular Thighs

The AskMen Acquire team thoroughly researches & reviews the best gear, services and staples for life.

As a woman with a low waist-to-hip ratio, shopping for jeans can sometimes get frustrating. I always thought men had it easier. But after having a conversation about jeans with some of my male coworkers, I realized that men with muscular thighs can relate to my denim woes.

"Finding pants that fit is a miracle," says AskMen editor Victor Tangermann, who has an impressive set of quads and totally understands the waist gap struggle (if you don't get it, this article might not be for you).

With Victor's help, I set out to find the best pants for guys with muscular thighs — because you shouldn't have to choose between having an athletic physique and looking sharp. Say goodbye to the sausage leg look and hello to your new favorite pants.

Levi's 541 Athletic Fit Stretch Jeans

Relaxed yet tailored, these jeans were inspired by professional athletes — and they are perfect for your build too. With extra room in the seat and thigh and a stretch fabric, they will accommodate a bigger-than-average lower body. The slightly tapered leg keeps the look modern.

Levi's 541 Athletic Fit Stretch Chinos

Why mess with a good thing? If you have found the most flattering fit for your body type, stick to it. Levi's understands this concept, hence this chino version of the jeans featured above. These pants are great for slightly dressier occasions — and you won't miss your stretch denim at all while wearing them.

AEO Extreme Flex Slim Straight Jean

Speaking of stretch denim, these American Eagle Outfitter jeans will literally move with your body. Their innovative fabric stretches horizontally, which means they are perfectly adapted to everyday movements such as bending over (you won't be giving people a glimpse of your undies anymore). Plus, the straight leg will balance out your proportions.

Nike Dri-FIT Cuffed Men's Training Pants

At first glance, they look like your average sweats. But thanks to technical qualities such as strategically placed stretch panels to allow for a full range of motion and zip cuffs to help you get in and out of the pants easily, they are great for guys with bigger legs.

Additional Shopping Tips For Men With Big Thighs
